Abstract: “In the evolving landscape of cloud computing, data security remains a paramount concern, necessitated by the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. Traditional encryption methodologies, primarily Single-Tier systems, are proving insufficient against the advanced tactics employed by modern cyber attackers. The CloudSec Innovation introduces a novel Multi-Tier encryption framework designed to fortify cloud data security by integrating symmetric (AES-256), asymmetric (RSA-OAEP), and post-quantum (Kyber-512) encryption techniques. The system is rigorously evaluated using a dataset simulated to mirror diverse cyber-attack scenarios and data sensitivity levels. The experimental analysis demonstrates a significant enhancement in security efficacy; the Multi-Tier system drastically reduces the success rate of cyber attacks to 5% from the 25% seen with Single-Tier systems, while also prolonging the average breach time from 2 to 10 hours. These results, tested across scenarios like SQL Injection, Brute Force, and Phishing attacks, attest to the robustness and comprehensive protection offered by the MultiTier approach. Conclusively, ‘CloudSec Innovation’ emerges as a superior solution, providing a sophisticated and layered defense mechanism that is adept at securing sensitive data in cloud environments against an array of cyber threats, thus establishing a new benchmark in cloud data encryption technology.“
